The events around the world in 2014—from Syria to Egypt, from Iraq to the Gaza Strip—are making it clear that humanity must find a new way to create life on Earth.<\/p>\n
God has been very direct about this, saying in Tomorrow’s God:<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHumanity is very soon going to reach critical mass in its collective realization that Yesterday\u2019s God cannot serve tomorrow\u2019s world.<\/p>\n \u201cHumanity cannot continue to resolve 21st<\/sup> Century dilemmas with 1st<\/sup> Century guidelines\u2014much less guidelines that came from before<\/em> that time,\u201d God added.<\/p>\n This is akin, God said, to going into a 21st<\/sup> Century operating room with 1st<\/sup> Century healing tools. Tomorrow\u2019s moral, ethical and social challenges cannot be met using 18th<\/sup> or 10th<\/sup> or 6th<\/sup> Century understandings and instructions. Those instructions and those understandings were not \u201cwrong,\u201d they were not \u201cbad,\u201d they were simply incomplete, <\/em>the Deity went on.<\/p>\n Then, in a striking statement clearly meant to get the attention of our species, God said: \u201cYet unless you acknowledge this, unless humanity can admit that it does not know all there is to know <\/em>about God and about Life, there can be no hope of continuing life as you have known it on your planet a great deal longer.\u201d<\/p>\n You have, in fact, already<\/em> given up much of \u201chow it used to be\u201d on the Earth. How much more are you willing to sacrifice before you see what is right in front of your eyes?<\/p>\n Asked about those who say that the real problem is that we have gotten away <\/em>from the understandings and the instructions of our fathers and of theirs, and that humanity needs to return <\/em>to the ancient guidelines of its wisdom traditions, God replied:<\/p>\n \u201cFundamentalist understandings of the holy scriptures of all your wisdom traditions are wise in many ways\u2014and incomplete, and therefore dangerous, in many other ways. Honor the tradition, but expand the understanding. That\u2019s the trick now. That\u2019s what religions must do right now if they hope to be helpful to humans in the years ahead\u2014or even to survive.<\/p>\n \u201cHonor your wisdom traditions, but expand their understanding. This is what will occur when humanity embraces Tomorrow’s God.\u201d<\/p>\n Persons wishing to learn more about what the God of our future understanding will be\u2014if the human race lasts long enough to create that new understanding\u2014may do so by reading the entire book, Tomorrow’s God<\/em>, available from any online bookseller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The events around the world in 2014—from Syria to Egypt, from Iraq to the Gaza Strip—are making it clear that humanity must find a new way to create life on Earth.
